Well hello and welcome back to another edition of Fridays From The Frontline! This week found 0Ls preparing for their futures and even getting good news, while current students were generally immersed in the world of exams and the torture and lack of sleep that came with them.
Sue found that she needed to improve her Chinese language skills after her research on the country’s environmental laws turned up many Chinese-only documents. Ricky Nelson noted that current law students were deep into their complaints, which he could notice since he was staked out in the law library even though he didn’t have authorization. MRS received the news that her first choice school accepted her and gave her a scholarship that will cover half of her tuition costs.
1L Invisible Man wished that he could skip any more practice tests and just take his exams. Miami ’12 Goateed 1L was one of the last in the library and, like Invisible Man, was ready for the exams to be over with. NYU ’12 IDWSJ suggested that fellow students find motivation in all they will be able to do once exams are over, and then shared a comic that slightly counteracted the relevance of this advice. 1L Law Law only had great things to say about her CivPro professor, though the exam still terrified her. NCSU ’12 TDot felt ‘mauled’ after one of his exams. On the eve of her Torts exam, Chapman ’12 Julie was at least able to quantify the amount of progress she made.
Harvard ’11 Ivy Lea found that the subjects that she wanted to blog about, and the manner in which she covered them, changed as exams got closer. 2L Huma felt that exams as a 2L weren’t quite as scary. Northwestern ’12 Jeremy could hardly believe that his first semester was almost complete and, even though he realized that exams were going to be hard and the job market tough, he felt fortunate. 2L Kel shared a few reasons why she hated finals, one of which was the good chance that she would end up looking and sounding like a zombie. Austin ’11 New Law Mom had a few thoughts about criminal procedure and what one definition of happiness could be in a law school context. 2L Laughing believed that her note-taking skills could be improved. 2L Googiebaba made cookies for a presentation audience and then fell over while talking about male escorts. 2L The Exit explained why she enjoyed the study period before the storm that is exams. Minnesota ’11 Jansen’s Bull Mastiff, Harley, was not overly enthusiastic about his owner’s conlaw textbook. In preparation for exams, Nobody got into her favorite pair of PJs and began a meal regimen that included candy canes for breakfast and popcorn for lunch. 3L (In)Sanity Gal suggested that a great way to take a break from studying for finals would be roasting up some root vegetables.
That sums up this week’s roundup of law school aspirants and current students. We hope that exams didn’t break anyone’s hearts or brains, and that all students will be able to recoup their energies over break and come back fresh faced and ready to start all over again. As always, if you are an aspiring law schooler with a blog, we’d love to hear from you, just email us at bob@clearadmit.com. Until next week, have a great weekend!
